I don't feel it, You say. And, pray tell her
name, my sir, that i may find she thee and prithee

Bear me off to southern sounds, fallow fields,
an altar ground, a garland rope of singing springtime snows.

this may be more than i can--;;
                        YOU
                        ARE
 ­                       NOT
                        WOR
          ­              THW
                        HILE

and i had such an awful dream last night--

you said, Bronwen, my love;
and i could not sweep her hair from the floorboards
beneath which you hid your ***** mags from mice.

because you tell me about it.

                                                            ­              WHOAM?
you speak of gOd like dOgs & i am worthless coinage
in the sewers. the sewers find my dress still hanging from your bones.
your bones your bones your piano finger bones
kiss me again

until my lips swell my throat bleeds i do not want you to know how much i crawl spiderlike through the trails of hair in the drain as the autumn leaves the summer leaves the spring buds freeze over hell i am not i am not listening pan-drum please let me say this one last thing:;

he is your accordion player the ***** player man who speaks fluent french and inflected english he is your accordion player on the pipes-----

and you say i do not feel and i reply,

this is too bad too late, chuckle replay as your fantasy walks through the door my team my team she is porcelain lovely see the perfume in your synesthesia colorblind goat footed grandiose Cesar with epilepsy she is your dream she is she is she is!

&meanwhile; the trumpet in soul still plays solfeggio---

1 2 le 3 4 1 2 le 3---1 2 le 3 4 1 3--le 1 le 3 le 1
she is the discord of the seventh in the tenor line
she is membranes she is rain she is towels

                      LEIGH **** IT

if only if only you weren't so lonely i might call you mine and bring you back homely.
IF ONLY-----Charles weren't so busy while you

stare at silver spoons and cherub smiles

and cupid calls you home again.

The door and the doorway
form a cocoon around my
fingers and this metamorphosis
is still lovely because instead
of a butterfly I get bruises.
and white hot knuckles.
and a raspy throat when
afterwards I asked myself where
the air scampered
away to I think it’s hiding
under my bed and in the
piles of clothes that I
left on my floor because
every time I tried to pick them
up
I picked
up
the phone instead.

Don’t talk to me as if I’m
the last string holding the
tag on your bed sheets together
hile telling me that
I’m the last string keeping
you away from a 200 foot fall
while you’re bungee jumping
how do you expect me to
snap you back in place every time
you wander
I am not elastic.


it isn’t me that turns your
words into cobwebs in this breeze
I’ve heard everything you want to say to me
1000 times before
at least
give me a square of time
for my own thoughts
to act as a feather duster
in the attic of my mind.
to clean up your cobwebs
where you nested once,
you lay your eggs inside of me
and there are 2000 tiny animals
ravaging what I was saving for us
what’s left of my mind
I have a bottle cap and
a glass heart that you
copped from DC
you’re still running
and these bottles of vicodin
and oxycodone are chasing you
but you haven’t yet realized
that you’ve already tripped

In your story you are the protagonist.

While *I am a dutiful caretaker,
I want you to let me sink,
Lower & deeper into your eyes,
Loving we have come to each other.

A* a true lover and admirer *I am,
Listen to my heartbeat someday,
When I will not miss your glam,
Amazing is this love they'll say,
Yours I will forever be the dam,
Shall I ever miss you madam?

Lean down I will to kiss you,
On your forehead, cheeks & lips,
Very softly I will be kissing you,
Entering you it will be a bliss.

You love and desire me so much,
Of your craze I am so crazy,
Unnatural your faith is.

My dream is coming true in you,
You I will always be so thankful.

Pushing my efforts I always am,
Oath of love is unbreakable here,
On this lovely and smooth tram,
Jinx they may but none we fear,
Always be happy with you I am.

While I'm here
While I can see
With the world surrounding
Me as I'm **free


The weight
Is becoming too much
The air
Is becoming too thin
As I stare
It's your face I see
Growing
Growing in me

Climbing
Forever climbing
'Till we get to the top
I can feel
All the brids in the air
And it's getting
It's getting too much

Dramtic as it is
It's still not enough
Look at me
Stare at me
Tell me I'm dead

YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT I SEE
YOU CAN'T FEEL WHAT'S INSIDE
YOU CAN TRY TO SAVE ME
BUT YOU'LL NEVER SUCCEED


Don't
Don't open the door
On the other side
Is more than you bargained for
Just leave me
Alone in this field
This entire melencholy
Is the next harvest's yield

JUST GO
Leave me alone
But please leave the door
Slightly ajar
Although the darkness is welcoming
All though it's embrace is tight
I still need the comfort
Of soft morning's light

A new kind of acrostic for my Pooja:

While observing this love of ours,
Over the time this world will be jealous.
Me you will always find by your side,
But we won't let 'em drain our hours,
Mine you are solely & I am only yours,
Over the decades, they will observe us,
We will rather enjoy our lovely showers.

Yes, my love, we are going to be happy,
Over the long time span of several years,
Under the blessings bestowed upon us,
Rose of our love has no thorns,
Up above into the bed of soft clouds,
Onto our heads from the divine mother,
Yes, my love, it'll be her blessing for us.

I love you and that's an irreversible fact,
Nostalgia of her loving caring nature is here,
Toss all the worry away into the water,
Onto the surface of an agitated stream,
Think of us both as the same entity,
Never fear the outcome of a nicely done job,
I am your friend and your mother.

Cool whispers will make their way,
Onto your ears they will make ways,
Medley of pop songs they will play,
Even though we will have differences,
My love you cherish, multiply & reflect,
Over the moonlit sky so dark blue,
Calling all the best caring careful souls.

We, you and me, are blessed to be together,
It's as if we were never different actually,
Let's not worry about the unknown future,
Let's just receive what comes with open arms,
Let's not fear anything that has not happened yet,
It's impractical to worry about the unknown,
What if we succeed should be our thought.

Because you love me like you have never loved,
And I love you exactly like you ever wanted,
Being together should be our foremost priority,
Yes, with each other we are creating magic,
But this is just a hint of our potential together,
And we are capable of a lot more after marriage,
Because you and I love each other so much.

Another thing about this love of ours,
A baby will come into your womb.

Con acorde concento, o con rüidos
músicos, ensordeces al gusano,
para que los enojos del verano
no atienda, ni del cielo los bramidos.
No es piedad confundirle los sentidos;
codicia sí, guardándole, tirano,
para que su mortaja con su mano
hile y, en su mortaja, tus vestidos.
Nació paloma, y, en tu seno, el vuelo
perdió; gusano, arrastra despreciado,
y osas llamar tu vil cautela celo.
Tal fin tendrá cualquiera desdichado
a quien estorba oír la voz del cielo,
con músico alboroto, su pecado.

It’s not just the pursuit
But the chance of failing
Just like a parachute,
Soul carcass hurtling toward earth
With arms flailing
Like having a dispute
With an all of the sudden insignificant other
On a train suddenly derailing
It’s a witches trial
A ****** hile
Or the devil’s smile
As they **** you with kindness
Preying on the praying mind’s mess
Preaching ignorant blindness
As the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria go sailing
Right up to your hut door
The peace you once knew before
Swiftly taken like Vlad’s impaling
But before my soul dips and attempts bailing
I’ll haunt you like the most vicious ghost
**** with your appliances and burn your toast
Get your lighthouse keeper sauced and tossed
On the fog ridden lost Coast
As you decide which Genocide
That you side with the Most
Some people need sleep, some sleople eat sheep, count them while they weep, let’s make a deal, instead of dead baby cow, we’ll call it veal, see that euphemistic way of speaking just seals the appeal like a wild safari **** just got real, don’t call it fried dead squid we’re eating calamari that way everybody gets to enjoy the party.

— The End —
